“Having been part of MidPen for 15+ years, I’m proud not just of my own growth, but of seeing the talent and dedication of those around me.

Janell Castillo is the Vice President of Property Operations at MidPen. She began her MidPen journey in 2010 as a Community Manager at Riverwood Place and Riverwood Grove and steadily advanced through leadership roles, most recently serving as Sr. Director of Property Operations. Along the way, Janell has earned a reputation for her collaborative approach, deep property management expertise, and dedication to both staff and residents.

While her family is central to her life—with two sons, a daughter, a husband, and two grandchildren—Janell’s true professional passion lies in permanent supportive housing.

Her focus on understanding and measuring success differently has strengthened the program and helped ensure it delivers the long-term stability and support residents need.
